Its described symptoms range from intermittent, mild abdominal pain and dyspepsia to acute intestinal obstruction. We report a case of hepato-diaphragmatic migration of the hepatic flexure of the colon associated to an unusual, heretofore unreported, angina-like pain exclusively evoked by the left lateral decubitus. To maximize the chance of observing anatomical changes in different postures, computed tomography of the chest and abdomen was performed after air insufflation into the colon. While frank herniation into the chest was excluded, the scan showed that the hepatic flexure-with the interposition of the diaphragm-came in contact with the right side of the heart in the left lateral, but not in the supine, decubitus. This finding was reproduced by echocardiography which also showed virtually unaltered hemodynamics after the change of posture. ECG, left and right ventricular global and regional function as well as cardiac injury markers also remained unchanged during the maneuver, indicating that the pain evoked by the latter was unlikely due to myocardial ischemia. This case suggests that Chilaiditi's syndrome should be included among the possible, although rare,causes of unexplained angina-like symptoms.展开更多

The hybrid quasi-periodic photonic lattice based on the hetero-structures was built from the Fibonacci and Thue-Morse sequences. We addressed the microwave properties of waves through the one-dimensional symmetric Fibonacci, and Thue-Morse system i.e., a quasi-periodic structure was made up of two different dielectric materials （Rogers and air）, in the quarter wavelength condition. It shows that controlling the Fibonacci parameters permits to obtain selective optical filters with the narrow passband and polychromatic stop band filters with varied properties which can be controlled as desired. From the results, we presented the self-similar features of the spectra, and we also presented the fractal process through a return map of the transmission coefficients. We extracted powerfully the band gaps of hybrid quasi-periodic multilayered structures, called ＂pseudo band gaps＂, often containing resonant states, which could be considered as a manifestation of numerous defects distributed along the structure. The results of transmittance spectra showed that the cutoff frequency could be manipulated through the thicknesses of the defects and the type of dielectric layers of the system. Taken together, the above two properties provide favorable conditions for the design of an all-microwave intermediate reflector.展开更多
